Football: Refuse To Give Red Envelopes, And Reward Full-Level Predictions!

Chapter 60, Establish a core, fascinating dominance!

"Awesome!!"

"It's so slippery!!"

"!"

This moment.

In Dragon Country.

The fans cheered up one after another.

This goal proves that even under pressure, Li Ao can handle the ball very well, even he can find space to finish the goal!!

This moment.

on the TV screen.

I was watching the scene where Li Ao scored a goal.

From the time he received the ball in the penalty area, every pick has fooled the opponent.

It can be said.

Athletic Bilbao's defensive players are in the defense this time.

I didn't expect what choice Li Ao would make.

And for their reaction.

Li Ao, on the other hand, seemed to have everything planned.

His movements are not fast, and his speed is not fast.

No fancy moves were used either.

Everything is fundamental.

But under the feet of Li Ao, it produced a very good effect.

The whole scoring process seemed so calm and unhurried.

After this goal is completed.

The whole stadium was set on fire by him.

Manchester United fans chanted Li Ao's name frantically.

Everyone was impressed by his performance.

In the box on the stand.

Next to David Gill.

Ed Woodwood, who will succeed David Gill as Manchester United's new CEO next season, is also applauding.

"Ed, look at his performance. Giving him this contract is simply worth it!"

David Gill laughed.

Ed․ Woodwood smiled and nodded slightly.

In my heart, I muttered.

"It's crazy to give a 17-year-old guy a weekly salary of 180,000..."

Ed Woodwood has his own ideas about the team's plans for next season.

Of course.

The premise of all this.

It was Ferguson who retired.

If Ferguson is still in the coaching position of the team "970".

Then no one is qualified to dictate to Manchester United's first team.

David Gill doesn't know Ed․ What was Woodwood thinking.

Actually in his heart.

There are some doubts about whether this legal and financial expert who has never been involved in football can manage Manchester United, a giant team.

but.

What does this have to do with him?

The team is owned by the Glazer family.

After all, the boss is responsible for everything.

David Gill looked at the pitch. Anyway, he has left for Manchester United the core players who can lead Manchester United to the top again in the next ten years!

The final result of the game was three to one.

After Li Ao scored.

Athletic Bilbao launched a crazy counterattack.

They pressed very high, which gave Manchester United the opportunity to fight back.

And Li Ao's defensive position in the midfielder made it difficult for Athletic Bilbao to open the gap through the middle. They kept trying to pass from the side and the result was that the ball was easily returned to Manchester United.

Ever since.

United's counter-attack quickly overwhelmed Athletic Bilbao.

ten minutes

Manchester United already lead by three goals.

Completely sealed the victory.

under these circumstances.

Ferguson began to replace several key players to avoid excessive consumption.

Li Ao was the first to be substituted.

Because after eliminating Athletic Bilbao and entering the quarterfinals, Ferguson will no longer regard the Europa League as an irrelevant event.

If you can win the Premier League this season and also win the Europa League.

That's in Manchester United's position.

Ferguson also won a Grand Slam.

The Premier League champions, as well as the FA Cup and League Cup champions, and the three major European cup champions: Champions League, Europa League, and Cup Winners' Cup champions are also in hand.

It can be said to be a real achievement!

Therefore, if he enters the quarter-finals of the Europa League, Ferguson must have an idea.

Of course.

how many ideas...

Let's wait until the quarterfinals are over.

Li Ao was replaced in the 65th minute of the game.

The reason for the substitution was of course to prepare for the 30th round of the league against Wolves two days later.

For Ferguson.

The league is what matters.

The Europa League is next.

Li Ao was cheered by the fans when he came out.

Substituting for Li Ao was the team's midfielder Carrick.

He had 30 minutes to find his feel on the court.

In the end, Athletic Bilbao scored a face-saving goal in the 87th minute of the game.

Manchester United defeated Athletic Bilbao 3-1 at home, eliminated Athletic Bilbao 5-3 on aggregate and advanced to the quarter-finals of the Europa League.

"Manchester United reached the quarter-finals of the Europa League with a rotation lineup, and now the eight teams in the quarter-finals of the Europa League have been produced, and the draw ceremony will take place later tonight together with the draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

"At that time, who will Manchester United face?"

"Maybe, if Manchester United is lucky enough to draw a weak team and enter the semi-finals of the Europa League, they will get serious. Now Manchester United can be said to be the biggest favorite to win the Europa League."

When the commentator looked forward to Manchester United's Champions League prospects.

The camera's lens locks onto Li Ao.

"Li Ao once again became the key player in this game. He rose like a whirlwind and quickly gained a foothold in Manchester United, occupying a starting position in Manchester United's midfield.

"The seventeen-year-old Li Ao has brought infinite vitality to Manchester United. As the league has entered the critical period of the final sprint, the addition of fresh blood has given Manchester United, a seemingly old giant, a new lease of life!!"

Andy Gray sighed in the stands.

"In fact, everyone can see that Ferguson's team has begun to age. Before that, Rooney is the only top star in their lineup that can be regarded as playing in their prime. Compared with Manchester City's lineup, other players ...at least in terms of value, they are completely inferior to their opponents."

Lineker said.

"From this we can see what the appearance of Li Ao means to Manchester United. It means that in the midfield position, Manchester United has a young, energetic and imaginative midfielder who can give Manchester United this Fresh blood injected into an old team, so that Manchester United have enough motivation in the final sprint!!"

"I even think that Ferguson should completely establish Li Ao's core position and let Li Ao become the new engine of Manchester United's midfield!!"

"Just like this Europa League match!"

After this game is over.

[King of Little Europe] series of side missions completed the first phase of the mission.

Athletic Bilbao were eliminated.

Li Ao's mission rating is still A-level.

This made Li Ao frowned.

His performance has been very good.

Scored in both games and had one assist.

The team scored five goals in total.

He was directly involved in three goals.

For this performance, the score is only A grade.

This dog system is too harsh.

Li Ao complained in his heart.

But after completing this task.

Li Ao got a new reward instead.

A special prop and a free attribute point.

Physical Amplitude Bread: Special props.

Use effect: After use, you can maintain the peak state of physical fitness within 30 minutes!

Li Ao put the item into the item bar.

Now he has two special props, long-range sight and physical amplitude bread.

Of course, such things must be used in key battles.

stt......

In this game, you can kill with your neck up!!

Li Ao is now looking forward to the game against Manchester City even more.

that night.

The Europa League draw results are out.

Manchester United drew Bundesliga powerhouse Schalke 04.

After this result came out, the local media in Manchester lamented the bad situation of Manchester United.

Among the top eight, the strongest teams are Manchester United, Schalke 04, and Atletico Madrid led by Simeone.

Other teams are basically nothing to worry about.

result....

Manchester United and Schalke 04 are drawn together.

This kind of small probability event has been encountered, what kind of calendar can you have.

Manchester United's poor signings in the Europa League did not cause much discussion in England.

Because although Schalke 04 is very strong, it is still not as good as Manchester United. If Manchester United is determined to make a difference in the Europa League, eliminating their opponents will not be a problem.

The crux of the question is whether Manchester United will still field a rotation against Schalke 04?

Manchester United's players did not pay too much attention to their opponents in the Europa League.

Two days after the match against Athletic Bilbao.

They challenged the Wolves away.

Wolves have a very tough style of play. Before the game, it was generally believed that this away game would be difficult for Manchester United. ,

result....

Manchester United beat their opponents 4-0 in the away game.

Li Ao sat in the midfielder and completed the defensive task. At the same time, the team's four goals were related to him.

Either the counterattack launched by his steal, or the attack organized after he pressed up.

Unfortunately.

Li Ao's record of directly participating in goals in nearly 9 consecutive games was ended-he had neither goals nor assists in this game.

After the game against Wolves.

It is half a month of international competition day.

Manchester United's international players left the team one after another, and Manchester United's first team was more than half empty at once.

Except for veterans like Scholes and Giggs who have quit the national team.

The rest of Manchester United's first-team players are basically international players from various countries.

Well...

Li Ao is an exception.

Li Ao has gradually been established as the core of the midfield at Manchester United.

In the end, he couldn't enter the Dragon Country national team. ,

Our Dragon Country national team is really amazing.

Li Ao, who did not join the national team, could only join the reserve team training with a few veterans and marginal players of the first team.

two weeks later.

The players of the national team have returned one after another.

The FIFA virus grips Manchester United.

Carrick and Pea Hernandez were injured on the national team matchday.

The thing is.

Scholes is also injured.....

That is.

Manchester United now has three core midfielders.

Two were hurt!

March 27th.

The thirty-first round of the league.

Manchester United vs Fulham...  

The team uses a midfield combination of Li Ao, Cleverley, and Park Ji-sung.

The same midfield lineup as before against Athletic Bilbao.

Manchester United did not play well in this game.

Many main players failed to find their status.

Until the eighty-ninth minute of the game.

The score is still zero to zero!!!

At the last moment of the game.

Manchester United wins a corner.

When Li Ao jumped high in the open space and headed the ball into the goal.

Almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Now Manchester United can't afford to lose points!!

They are one point behind Manchester City.

Even if you can't tie or overtake in the process.

You have to bite to death!

Li Ao completed the lore.

Help Manchester United beat Fulham 1-0.

The third day after this game.

The quarter-finals of the Europa League are in full swing.

Manchester United will first host Schalke 04 at home.

The schedule of away first and then host is not favorable for Manchester United.

So they have to get a victory at home.

Because of the injuries to Carrick and Scholes.

So in this game, at least Manchester United in the midfield does not care about rotation or not.

Li Ao still plays as the core of the midfield.

When players from both sides stand on the court.

It was raining heavily at Old Trafford.

Li Ao's hair was already wet lying on his forehead.

as a midfielder.

Li Ao needs to keep turning his head to check the situation in all directions of the court.

So under the lens.

people can see.

Li Ao's hair was constantly thrown up.

The rain was thrown out, and then the hair was slapped heavily on the forehead.

"Li Ao came to England to finally experience a real English rain fight. This game is a test for him!"

He Ping, a commentator for Longguo State TV, said before the game started.

"Among my influences, Li Bu has never had a competition under such a heavy rain."

The guest commentator Tao Wei also nodded and said: "For a midfielder like Li Ao, the heavy rain has added a lot of uncertainty to the game. When the football is running on the field, it is likely to be affected by the rain. an unexpected situation."

"This is going to test Li Ao's long pass ability!"

Fighting in the rain is indeed a new subject for Li Ao.

But he's not completely inexperienced.

England is a place with a lot of rain.

Li Ao was lucky and didn't encounter heavy rain on the race day.

However, it is often foreseen in training.

So he can still handle a rain fight.

It's not too much of an issue.

under the rain.

Strengthen long passes and reduce short passes.

After the game started.

Li Ao stands in the middle of the midfield, the position of the midfielder.

This actually made the Dragon Kingdom fans a little upset.

Because the position of the midfielder is far from the goal.

The farther away from goal, the less of a threat.

The chances of being in the limelight are even smaller.

But in fact the situation is not as people imagined.

Li Ao sits in the middle lane, and he can be plugged in at any time.

Cleverley and Park Ji-sung are like his two hands, always under Li Ao's control.

And at the defensive midfielder position, 4.8 suffers less pressure and pressure, Li Ao catches the ball more easily and touches the ball more often.

Originally, Ferguson's plan was to play dual-core with Carrick and Li Ao, switching positions in turn.

But it's all right now.

Carrick was injured.

Cleverly and Ji-sung are both blue-collar workers, so they can't play the core.

So now it can only be Li Ao to take over Carrick's role and lead the team.

For Li Ao.

He also prefers the way he feels now.

The defensive midfielder is still the most suitable position for him to display his overall strength.

It is not impossible to let him play the midfielder.

But this is a waste of Li Ao's defensive ability.

There are also more touches at the midfielder position, and it is easier for Li Ao to find the feeling.

in this position.

In order to maximize Li Ao's strength.

In fact, the core back is also very common in modern football.

For example, Pirlo and Harvey Alonso.

Both are examples of very successful central midfielders.

The way Li Ao is playing now is not surprising.

And more importantly.

Xavi Alonso needs Khedira to parallel him in the defensive midfielder for protection.

Li Ao doesn't need it.

He doesn't need thugs.

when necessary.

He can be a thug himself.

And now Ferguson has gradually given Li Ao more authority.

He is now the player with the most authority on the court.

He can dominate the ball anywhere.

Maximize his predictive observation ability!!

Now this team.

How to play on the pitch.

Li Ao has the final say!

After more than two months.

Li Ao has earned his tactical status at Manchester United!

After both Carrick and Scholes were injured.

Manchester United can rely on.

There is only Li Ao.

The feeling of giving orders and leading the game completely according to one's own ideas.

Fascinated by Li Ao....
